Will look at both of those today. I’d never heard of System 76, and had forgotten also about Emperor Linux. Will look at both of those today.

(http://www.system76.com) - They're 100% Linux compatible and come with Ubuntu by default. Cheers, Raphael Luis,

It's one kilogram heavier and one centimeter thicker. Hey, z61m is NOT the same as z61t. It’s one kilogram heavier and one centimeter thicker.

And with the z61m i think you get a choice between GMA 950 & an ATI card on some models. If you want to go 15″ just get the z61m, same thing as the z61t excpet you get an extra inch on the display.

Number one it's sub 5 pounds (even with big batter). Number two 14" wide screen 1400x900. Number three, intel GMA 950, so you get free drivers and it's speedy enought for compiz/aiglx business and a mini-pci intel wifi card. Best bet to get a lenovo is to call them (their site/service well sucks compared to the old ibm service). There you can acctualy a barebones model you can customize (over the phone) with what you want and leave the wifi card out and buy whatever your heart desires later, for info on doing that look at www.notebookreview.com IBM/Lenovo forums. I love this machine, here's some info I wrote about the laptop when i got it originaly: http://www.mindtouchsoftware.com/blog/2006/06/18/new-laptop-hotness/ And i just realized that jorge already posted all of this. I'll fire anyways, hope something helps. If you want to go lenovo, z61t; I got it a while back and it rocks. Number one it’s sub 5 pounds (even with big batter). Number two 14″ wide screen 1400×900.

Will definitely look at the Zs- pretty good for Krissa's needs, I think. Marting: they seem to have them around on the website, but I can't find an actual *order form* that has them. Which, you know, makes buying it hard ;) jorge: eenteresting. Will definitely look at the Zs- pretty good for Krissa’s needs, I think.
